It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when Xiao Zhen, Bai Shuo and Liang Ying walked out of the hotel. At this time, the lights were starting to turn on, and the magic city changed from the hustle and bustle of the day to become more magical and crazy. The car lights on the road flashed like strips of shining lights.
Giant dragons criss-cross. The silent perseverance of tall buildings shines with colorful light in the night, like giants in myths. In this magical city, I don’t know how many people are dazzled by its beauty and rotten by it.
The debauchery, losing one's soul in the indulgence...
"Such a city is so gorgeous. No matter how hard we try, Xichuan can't compare to it..."
Xiao Zhen admired the night view of the Magic City and couldn't help but sigh: "What a great undertaking it would be if I had the opportunity to build such a city myself."
Speaking of this, Xiao Zhen turned his head and looked at Bai Shuo and Liang Ying and asked: "How is it? How do you feel?"
"Why do I feel a little hungry?" Bai Shuo touched his stomach and looked at Xiao Zhen slightly embarrassed.
"Hey... I have been hungry for a long time, but I have been too nervous just now, so I don't feel hungry..." Liang Ying also said depressedly.
Xiao Zhen saw that the two people's answers were wrong and said with a smile: "Did I say you two didn't eat anything at the dinner table just now? How long has it been..."
Bai Shuo shook his head, stepped forward and patted Xiao Zhen's arm: "Stop pretending, you drank four glasses of white wine, took three bites of vegetables, and ate a snack during the entire dinner. Don't tell me you're not hungry."
Xiao Zhen said with some embarrassment: "Oh, I forgot to remind you. Usually there is nothing to eat at this kind of banquet, so before I came here, I had two Beijing sauce buns prepared..."
Before Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he saw the two of them messed up in the night wind, with two pairs of helpless and lost eyes looking straight at him.
"Um...but it seems I'm still a little hungry. How about I treat you to a midnight snack..." Xiao Zhen said tentatively.
Before they finished speaking, Liang Ying and Bai Shuo's expressions immediately changed.
Liang Ying: "I should have told you earlier... Is there anything between brothers that a late night snack can't solve..."
Bai Shuo: "If there is, just two meals... haha."
At this moment, Xiao Zhen's phone rang, and it turned out to be a call from his friend Yang Feng. On the phone, Yang Feng said that he had just arrived in Shanghai and heard that Xiao Zhen had won a great victory at the Hundred Counties Exhibition and was also received by the chief.
received him, shouting that he wanted to celebrate Xiao Zhen’s victory.
Xiao Zhen asked angrily: "You just arrived in the magic city, right? Why...you haven't eaten yet, are you going to find a reason to kill me?"
After getting a positive answer, Xiao Zhen looked at Bai Shuo and Liang Ying beside him and said to the phone: "Just in time, I also have two hungry cats here, you choose a place..."
20 minutes later, Xiao Zhen called Chu Ge who was still in the hotel to deal with the aftermath, and the four of them rushed to the place Yang Feng mentioned. They found that this was a late-night snack street in Shanghai, where all kinds of delicacies from all over the world were gathered.
, allowing customers from all over the world to choose the flavor that suits them.
Yang Feng chose a small roadside stall, and the food he ate was mainly Cantonese-style seafood. As soon as Xiao Zhen walked into the shop, he found that besides Yang Feng, Guo Rong and Ying Yujie were also gathered together.
Seeing Xiao Zhen's arrival, Ying Yujie waved her arms enthusiastically to say hello. However, Xiao Zhen only gave her a slight gesture, then turned to Guo Rong and said, "You kid won't go to your county's celebration banquet.
What are you doing here?"
Guo Rongxi said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao, that's what you call a celebration banquet. We are lucky that our county's achievements this time are not embarrassing. I heard that you are going to summon us, so of course you have to get there quickly!"
Xiao Zhen smiled, and then turned around to introduce Bai Shuo and Liang Ying to everyone: "Well...this is Bai Shuo, you all met in Shu last time, and this is Liang Ying, you have
You probably haven’t seen him before, but he is the eldest son of the Liang family in Hong Kong and the current head of the Liang Group..."
Liang Ying, Guo Rong, and Yang Feng met each other for the first time, and they greeted everyone politely.
Yang Feng smiled and said: "Don't be so polite, there are no outsiders here. By the way, I work in Huadu, which is close to you. Next time I go to Hong Kong Island, I can take advantage of you, Mr. Liang."
Liang Ying smiled and said: "That's what I wish for..."
Yang Feng looked at Bai Shuo again and asked: "Hey, that fat guy last time, what was Cao... um... Why isn't Cao An here? He's quite fun..."
After the incident in Bagui Province, Li Fei and Xiao Lin stayed in Yongcheng to continue to supervise the follow-up matters, while Zhong Pengcheng returned to the capital of Shu first. Originally, Cao An, Yinglong, and Zhao Yong came to the capital with Bai Shuo.
, although Ying Long follows Bai Shuo, he still has other tasks assigned to him by Zhu Sui'an, so Bai Shuo does not always have Ying Long by his side on weekdays. Cao An does not seem to be very interested in things like the Economic Summit Forum.
, he was sent to another place by Bai Shuo to live happily, and he also took Zhao Yong away. Therefore, during this period, Bai Shuo basically acted alone. Fortunately, Liang Ying also came to the magic city, and the good friends found him again.
It brings back the feeling I had when I was sitting in a bearded bar.
"Well, are you here on business this time?" After Xiao Zhen sat down, he casually asked Ying Yujie after a long time.
"Of course, I am here to play the main role this time. I will attend the summit forum with the leader." Ying Yujie raised her head confidently, but she showed a playful look.
The dishes that Yang Feng had prepared earlier were quickly served on the table. Guo Rong was about to ask the boss to bring beer, but Yang Feng quickly stopped him. Then he took out a box of red wine from behind: "What kind of beer should I drink when eating seafood? I don't know about purine."
How powerful is it? I have been prepared for this."
After saying this, he took out a few bottles and gave one to each person.
"As agreed, everyone has his own drink, and you are not allowed to leave until you finish the drink. There will be no more."
At this time, Ying Yujie glared at Yang Feng angrily and said, "You guys each have one, where's mine?"
Yang Feng looked at the empty box and said awkwardly: "What happened to Miss Ying today? She actually took the initiative to find a drink..."
Chu Ge smiled and said: "Miss Ying is not looking for a drink, but she is looking for drunkenness..."
Guo Rong said seriously: "With Boss Xiao here, I'm afraid everyone will get drunk long ago."
Since Guo Rong seemed honest and serious, he felt even more happy when he said this. Ying Yujie was furious: "Guo Rong, do you want to be beaten?"
It immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"Ah, sister Yujie, I was wrong, I was wrong. You see, I am not very good at drinking. I will give you this bottle. Chu Ge and I can share a little."
Seeing Guo Rong pushing the wine to Ying Yujie, Yang Feng was not happy: "Hey, we agreed that everyone would drink their own drink, how can we give in like this? But it's okay to give in, sister Yujie has to abide by the rules.
"
"What's the rule? You, Yang Feng, went to Huadu to learn some fancy stuff. That's the most abominable thing."
Yang Feng was not afraid of being scolded and said with a playful smile: "As we agreed just now, everyone has his own drink. If you take this bottle of wine, you have to finish it by yourself. Guo Rong, you go get a bottle of 2 taels by yourself."
The Erguotou also counts.”
Ying Yujie looked at the red wine in her hand and gritted her teeth: "Come here...open the wine..."
Soon, people at the table were mingling over the delicious seafood.
"By the way, why did Chief No. 2 meet you?" Chu Ge casually asked Xiao Zhen after finishing a glass of wine.
Everyone looked at Xiao Zhen, and Yang Feng asked curiously: "Why, you didn't just attend the banquet, but were you received alone by the leader?"
Xiao Zhen adjusted his seat and continued to pour wine into the glass: "The chief has important matters to attend to and has left overnight. We didn't see him. But Minister Yang chatted with us for a while."
"Oh? Is there something important?" Yang Feng asked immediately.
"It's nothing important. The main thing is to ask about a few projects this time, otherwise I wouldn't have called them together." Xiao Zhen said and looked at Bai Shuo and Liang Ying.
Bai Shuo understood and immediately said: "Well, yes, the leaders seem to be more interested in the project we invested in this time. It seems that Liang Ying and I may take this opportunity to do something big..."
Before Liang Ying could remember what he said, Yang Feng suddenly said: "Oh, Brother Zhen, I heard that you got a lot of good projects this time. I said Mr. Liang is so close to us, why didn't you consider it?
What about our Huadu? If Mr. Liang is interested in visiting the capital, I would be happy to make arrangements..."
"You kid, are you here to poach Brother Zhen, right?" Chu Ge said angrily.
Liang Ying smiled and said: "Anyway, our country is vast and rich in resources. Many places have their own unique advantages. Different places have different business practices. I just happened to take this opportunity to walk around and have a look."
Xiao Zhen nodded: "Huadu is a good place. You can go and take a look if you have the chance. There should be a lot of development opportunities."
Seeing that Xiao Zhen agreed, Yang Feng was very happy and immediately raised his glass: "Look, even Brother Zhen is optimistic about our Huadu. Come on, let me toast you all first. You are welcome to visit our Huadu when you are free.
…”
Soon after half a bottle of red wine was consumed, everyone started talking more, ranging from work to life, from life to emotions, and from emotions to all aspects. Soon everyone became close to each other.
Guo Rong is a typical good old man. He doesn't talk much. Most of the time, he follows everyone's topics and chats and laughs. However, he takes advantage of the gaps in everyone's words to pour wine and encourage people to drink. Especially Bai Shuo, who is sitting next to him, feels that he
It seems that the wine glass has never been empty. As soon as he said a few words, he would unknowingly find that the wine glass was filled again. At this time, if he looked at Guo Rong, Guo Rong would immediately raise his glass with a silly smile.
Come and pay your respects.
Because Yang Feng and Chu Ge grew up with Xiao Zhen, they told many embarrassing things about Xiao Zhen while they were drunk. It did not damage Xiao Zhen's image, but it made Bai Shuo and Liang Ying feel that Xiao Zhen was also flesh and blood.
The distance between them is even closer.
Although Xiao Zhen didn't care much, Ying Yujie defended Xiao Zhen very much. Whenever Yang Feng and Chu Ge attacked Xiao Zhen, Yujie would immediately attack him. If they couldn't fight with each other, they would have a drink together, and they wouldn't agree until they begged for mercy.
give up.
After a while, Ying Yujie's face turned crimson. Xiao Zhen took her wine bottle and started pouring it into his own glass, trying to persuade her to drink less. Unexpectedly, Ying Yujie ducked back the wine.
Bottle, looked at Yang Feng angrily and said: "Don't break the rules, I don't want others to look down on..."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Xiao Zhen with an obsessed look on his face and said with a smile: "Especially in front of you...hehe."
"No one will look down on you. The rule is that the dead are alive, so drink less." Xiao Zhen advised softly.
"Don't worry, I'm not drunk..." Yujie continued: "Yang Feng, this red wine is the best made by the Gauls. Is your wine from Gaul?"
Yang Feng was stunned and quickly returned: "Oh, my eldest lady, you really know the goods. This is authentic Gaul brewing. This time, friends from Gaul came to attend the summit forum and specially brought it to me...
…”
Yujie nodded: "Well, the Gauls love romance the most. Brother Zhen, I just learned a Gaul poem recently. Let me read it to you..."
After saying that, Ying Yujie put down her wine glass, looked at Xiao Zhen with blurred eyes, and then softly recited:

…
After reading a poem, Yujie still looked at Xiao Zhen, as if she was still immersed in the poem. But no one could understand what the poem meant, but no one wanted to be the first to ruin the atmosphere.
It made everyone a little embarrassed.
Yujie seemed to finally notice everyone's embarrassment, and said to herself: "Hey...why isn't Anna here? If she is here, at least someone understands my thoughts..."
"Haha, okay, Yujie, you speak Gaulish very well, and the poems you recite also have a unique flavor. Although I can't understand them, the emotions in them can be felt..." In the end, Xiao Zhen broke the
calm.
Ying Yujie murmured: "It's best if you really feel it, but one day you will understand..."
"Ahem..." Xiao Zhen coughed twice, trying hard to break the existing atmosphere: "Uh... come on, come on, let's all have a drink together. Yujie, let's talk about other topics too...
…”
"Well, good!" Ying Yujie seemed to have finally come out of the world of poetry, and asked Xiao Zhen again with an excited face: "By the way, brother Zhen, you haven't even answered the question I asked you last time."
Back to me?"
Xiao Zhen just took a sip of red wine and immediately responded: "Well! What's the problem?"
"Hey...it's the issue you promised to consider and tell me last time..."
"Um, what are you talking about...?"
Ying Yujie said angrily and said softly, "I knew you were perfunctory with me. Isn't it the same issue we talked about while lying in bed last time..."
Suddenly, the world seems to have become peaceful...
"Pfft..." Yang Feng just took a big sip of wine, but after all he couldn't hold it back and turned his head and sprayed it out to the side.
When he turned around, he saw Xiao Zhen and Ying Yujie both looking at him and saying awkwardly: "Um...I...I may have drunk too much, you continue..."
